Mottled Duck

(Anas fulvigula)

Description:

Bright bill on this bird suggests it is an adult male. Mottled Ducks look quite like American Black Ducks, but these birds prefer the Gulf Coast, while the Black Duck stays close to the Atlantic seaboard. My second full day on South Padre Island, Texas was less birdy than my first day, but still I met some great birds.
